+1 on the MF135 (mine's Perkins... my Grandpa bought it new in '74)
Very strong tractor. Used 135's are easy to come by, the parts are too! They'll pull 6' blades, disks, and rotary cutters all day long.

Rear rack cargo box idea. Cut the top off on of these and mount on rear rack.

Not sure about that, seems the sides at the top would be flimsy. Also, how would you protect the gear inside? If you've done this, would you mind posting a pic?

Or something like this for equipment drawers and add some sides.

Those tanks are fairly thick. Cut out the top so there is a 2" lip all around and it should work great. A small trap could keep everything pretty well protected. It's actually a pretty reasonable way to get a good sized heavy duty plastic cargo box. Now that's thinking outside the box

Did you receive the 2" receiver yet? I'm somewhat interested in a 2" receiver for the P5 but I can't find any pictures of one installed.

Yes I received the Moose 2" (I think mine is a different brad) receiver $79.00 with free shipping delivered to my house by UPS and I mounted it (had to keep and reuse the 2 metric nuts that came from the lower A-frame factory bolts. Other than those 2 nuts, every thing else came with the receiver. I had to drop my aluminum CV boot guards so that I could remove the A-frame bolts and insert the new bolts that came with the hitch. This thing looks pretty solid and if I somehow manage to damage it, I am thinking that the P5 will have been destroyed in the process. I ordered a Reese 2" drawbar from Amazon returned goods store for $9.00 as I have a couple of 2" balls already that will work with it. I don't see this hitch as being easily damaged. I think the UTV would be damaged first. Like others have said, this thing looks quite a bit more solid than the factory hitch.
Now I am looking at one of the class 1 3 point hitches for use in the receiver.

I have one photo of my Honda on a trailer behind my truck. You can see the basket from the yellow wagon I got at Academy in the photo. After some use I noticed 2 issues. 1. Zip ties don't secure it worth a s*** as the ties will break even with about 16 of them securing it to the rack. 2. The metal used to make the wagon's sides are so flimsy to be almost laughable as the sides bend so easy.

On trailer. I should add that somehow I lost one of the front aluminum A-arm guards even though it was secured with lock nuts. Cudos to the company I bought the original ones from as they sold me replacement pair (don't come in singles but I suggested they should offer) at a reduced price. Hog hunting this weekend I got hung on about an 18" fallen tree and had to winch myself off. Winch worked great and my Honda sitting on the trunk broke the tree trunk so that it was able to be pulled off of the trail.
